They're MCC02RG20, made in Taiwan by Prodisc, but with a silver reflective layer with a gold backside. This offers the anti-oxidization benefits of gold, without the problems created by gold's low reflectivity.

How does this work? Is the gold a backup layer or a protection envelope for the silver?

Silver is I think what you would call the backup layer. Which is the layer closest to the dye. The advantage of silver is better reflectivity.
Then there is a gold layer which protects the silver layer. (Humit) Air most likely gets to the silver layer through the side with the bonding material (Bad or good doesn't matter it's still the most easy route. ) now the gold layer protects the silver layer causing that they easy route no longer exists. (when done right that is.)

If I understand correctly, the bonding layer is right above the gold side, where oxidization is most like to occur. Dakhaas could probably explain a lot better.
